A star dial for the windowsill. Set it on a windowsill or a nightstand where daylight or lamp light can shine through the face. Turn the tab on the right edge and the pattern inside swaps between Cassiopeia, Cygnus, and the Little Dipper in Ursa Minor, one of three fixed positions. A small gift for a stargazer's desk or a kid's shelf.
Turn the edge, change the sky. Grip the small tab on the right edge and turn it. Inside, a disc sandwiched between the face plate and the base rotates to one of three fixed stops, each stop lining up a different cluster of pierced stars with the openings on the face plate: Cassiopeia, then Cygnus, then the Little Dipper in Ursa Minor.
Three pieces, one stack. It comes as three pieces: the pierced face plate on top, a star disc that turns between them, and a flat base underneath. All three share four corner holes that keep the stack aligned as the disc turns, so the star openings never drift out of line with the fixed pattern on the face plate.
A slim profile, fine finish. At 3.3 by 3.0 inches and 0.236 inch thick, the assembled stack stays flat and light. PETG's fine layer lines keep the star cutouts crisp along their edges, and the flat base sits square on a table or sill without rocking.
